Inspired by Boston Marathon bombing, all proceeds from the song go to charitable causes.

After the Boston Marathon bombing, Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning musician and songwriter Neil Diamond was moved to write about the incomprehensible tragedy. His “Freedom Song (They’ll Never Take Us Down)” debuted nationally on the 33rd annual broadcast of “A Capitol Fourth.” 100% of the proceeds from the song sales benefit One Fund Boston and the Wounded Warrior Project.
